Her Weibo’s top post showed that a big production with a big IP had sought her out! She’s signed the contract! The shoot starts soon!
Chu Youxuan hadn’t made an official announcement before, but now, as soon as she saw that old Mr. Zhou had chosen Li Xingwan, she immediately made it official.
It was as if those ambiguous magnates she used to be entangled with had joined forces to bestow this big IP on her!
She and Li Xingwan both ended up on the trending search.
"My goodness! Have these two struck gold recently?"
"How come each of them has a big production lined up?!"
"A stroke of unexpected fortune?"
Li Xingwan just glanced at it and then exited. What Chu Youxuan did was none of her business.
Jiang Song also exited. Chu Youxuan suddenly getting a big IP must have been the work of those ambiguous backers of hers!
It just so happened that now, she and Li Xingwan stood in opposition to each other!
That evening, Li Xingwan lay in bed, changed into a camisole nightdress, staring at Fu Chengzhou’s phone number.
She had no idea what he was doing at the moment.
Li Xingwan’s face flushed as she texted Fu Chengzhou.
Those three airy words nearly sucked away Fu Chengzhou’s soul.
"Hmm?" He typed just one character.
It was as if a layer of ambiguity had silently risen in the chat box, even though Fu Chengzhou wasn’t by her side.
But right now, Li Xingwan could feel her face getting hot.
She could only blame him for being too mature and too charming.
With a "snap," she took a photo of her shoulder clad in the camisole nightdress and sent it to Fu Chengzhou.
She thought, at the very least, she should offer him some comfort.
Her face reddening, she immediately turned off her phone and buried herself under the covers.
The next morning, Chen Ming’s crew started filming smoothly, distributing red packets to everyone. The atmosphere on set was serious and strict, with everyone focusing on getting the scenes right.
The harmony was palpable! Apart from filming, there was laughter and banter, and Chen Ming even got hotpot for everyone to share.
This went on for the next few days.
Meanwhile, a piece of news quietly made its way to the trending search.
"Heard that the ’Chu Best Actress’ got injured?"
"Ah? Really? How did she get hurt? Didn’t she just start filming?"
During the days when Li Xingwan was shooting for VG magazine and recording the new variety show for A-list actors and actresses, Chu Youxuan was idly waiting, up until now.
"Heard she tripped while going out."
"Pssh! You gotta be kidding?"
"How does one trip just stepping out?"
Even Jiang Song got wind of this juicy gossip and laughed until her stomach hurt.
"Xingwan! Look, look! She really just fell flat on her face right outside her house. And someone caught it on camera."
She couldn’t stop laughing, what an unlucky year.
Li Xingwan looked too, and couldn’t help but laugh. There was Youxuan, looking disheveled and undignified. Dressed in haute couture, she had stumbled and fallen to the ground.
The incident was captured in a series of photos.
There was even a short video.
"I can’t help feeling is heaven’s way of telling Chu Youxuan not to work."
"Heard she sprained her ankle, haha!"
The mockery was almost universal online.
Li Xingwan met up with Wu Zichun. They hadn’t seen each other in quite a while, and Wu Zichun crashed into her embrace as soon as she saw her.
She hooked her arms around Xingwan’s neck, pouting adorably. "Why are you only seeing me now? Are you really that busy? Which is more important to you, me or your work?"
Li Xingwan could only soothe her. "You’re important, you’re important," she insisted, while pinching the soft flesh at her waist.
Wu Zichun’s actions had Luo Jinxun beside them seething with jealousy. His wife was constantly throwing herself into Li Xingwan’s arms, being held by her, and having her waist embraced.
He felt helpless and irritated.
An outsider might even think Li Xingwan had cuckolded him.
